Mono-substituted cyclopentadienes and metal cyclopentadienyl complexes and synthesis methods thereof

Abstract

A metal cyclopentadienyl complex has the formula: wherein m≥0; M is a Group I, II or III main group metal, alkali or transition metal; C 5 H 4 represents a Cp ring where two hydrogens are substituted by M and R(F) m ; R(F) m is connected to any one of the carbon atoms of the Cp and selected from a hydrocarbyl, fluorohydrocarbyl, silyl group [SiR′ 3 ], or amino group [—NR 1 R 2 ]. The metal cyclopentadienyl complexes include Li(C 5 H 4 -2-C 5 H 11 ) (CAS No: 2413046-23-6), K(C 5 H 4 -2-C 5 H 11 ), Na(C 5 H 4 -2-C 5 H 11 ), K(C 5 H 4 -1-F—C 4 H 10 ), K(C 5 H 4 -1,1,1-3F—C 4 H 6 ), Li(C 5 H 4 -2-C 4 H 9 ), or In(C 5 H 4 -2-C 5 H 11 ) (CAS No.: 2364634-67-1). A mono-substituted cyclopentadiene has the formula: wherein m≥0; C 5 H 5 represents the Cp ring where one hydrogen is substituted R(F) m ; R(F) m is connected to any one of the carbon atoms of the Cp and selected from a hydrocarbyl, fluorohydrocarbyl, silyl group [SiR′ 3 ], or amino group [—NR 1 R 2 ]. The mono-substituted cyclopentadienes include C 5 H 5 -1-F—C 4 H 10 , C 5 H 5 -2-C 5 H 11 , C 5 H 5 -2-C 4 H 9 , or C 5 H 5 -1,1,1-3F—C 4 H 6 .
